Why It’s Time to Redefine Performance: Giving Rise to a New Lifestyle

6/26/2025

By John Allen Mollenhauer, Performany, ​Performance Lifestyle, Regenus Center
For decades, the term “performance” has been narrowly defined. In business, it’s been equated with productivity, output, and hustle. In athletics, it’s meant pushing limits, optimizing physical output, or winning at all costs. In personal development, it’s often framed as grinding harder, staying motivated, or hacking discipline. But let’s be honest: Those definitions of performance are breaking people.

The Fountain of Youth Starts Here

By Lois Manzella-Marchitto, Fitness Knocking 
When people think about having longevity and a long health span, the first things that come to mind are usually diet and exercise. This is true and behind every new habit, food choice, or fitness goal is something even more important—your mindset.  Ideally one that’s healthy. As I love to say, “Put your workout gear on and get started, your mind will follow.” Our desire to be perfect often sidelines us from what we really want to achieve and starting. But the truth is, we just need to get up and do something.

PERFORMANY: A New Word for a New Way to Live—That Busts the 4 Biggest Myths of Human Performance

5/22/2025

 
Picture
By John Allen Mollenhauer “JAM”, Founder, Performany Inc | Creator of the ​Performance Lifestyle®
“PERFORMANY” is not just a name. It’s a mission, a movement, and a message whose time has come—because human performance should never be reserved for the elite few. It’s for all of us. It’s for the many. We Don’t Need More Hustle. We Need People Who Can Perform—and Still Thrive. In a culture obsessed with doing, hustle for periods of time is good, but we’ve created a warped idea of what “performance” actually means.

The Unseen Cost of Unhealthy High Performance - And Why It’s Time for a Lifestyle Revolution

4/17/2025

by Performany CEO, John Allen Mollenhauer “JAM”, home of the Performance Lifestyle. 
In today’s performance-obsessed world, the demand to show up at your best is no longer a luxury—it’s a baseline expectation. Whether you’re an entrepreneur, executive, parent, athlete, or student, you’re expected to bring it—every day, all day—without pause. But here’s the problem: we’ve normalized output without ever addressing input. We measure success by what gets done, but rarely ask: at what cost?

Human Performance for the Many—Not Just the Few or the Elite

Over the first quarter of 2025, I had an epiphany.  Many of you know me as a Performance Lifestyle® coach and the founder of Regenus Center, where we offer The Charging Stations and access to ATP red light therapy/photobiomodulation beds—the most advanced rejuvenation and recovery chambers available to help high-striving people revitalize their body and brain.  But something clicked for me recently

How Different Would Your Life Be If Change Wasn’t So Hard?

3/27/2025

By Kathy D'Agati, Back to Basic Wellness​
Every day I meet the most amazing people. What makes me sad is how few believe that about themselves. It can be tough to feel good about yourself these days. The demands on your time usually mean that in any given moment you are disappointing somebody. When you are at work you worry that you are not spending enough time with your family. When you are with your family you are thinking of all the things you haven’t done at work. It’s hard to feel satisfied with your life when your to-do list is longer than the day.

February is the Perfect Month to Think About Heart Health

We don’t think often about our hearts until we have a problem.  What a perfect month to think about heart health as we celebrate Valentines Day.  Last month at the Health & Wellness Forum, Victoria Buhl from the American Heart Association presented to Morris County Chamber members with a focus on stroke awareness. Heart health refers to the overall well-being of the cardiovascular system, including the heart and blood vessels.

Cellular Energy: The Key to Health, Higher Performance and Aging Well

2/20/2025

By Performance Lifestyle® Coach John Allen Mollenhauer, "JAM" Founder of Regenus Center & The Charging Station NJ
I could have titled this “The Science Behind Why You Get Tired…” one of the primary questions I asked when I began developing the Performance Lifestyle®.  One of the top two identifiers of someone living a balanced and healthy “performance lifestyle” is that they regularly and systemically recharge and restore or “revitalize” their body to maintain energy balance at a minimum, meaning they are not spending more energy than they are recuperating every day.

Reflection and Planning: Setting the Stage for Growth

1/23/2025

By Laura Crothers, Crothers Consulting
​As we step into a new year, there’s something powerful about taking a moment to pause and reflect. In the rush of daily tasks and deadlines, it’s easy to keep moving forward without stopping to take stock of where we’ve been. But I’ve found that the most meaningful growth—both for individuals and organizations—happens when we take the time to reflect on the past and thoughtfully plan.

The Lifestyle That Transforms Energy into Achievement

By John Allen Mollenhauer “JAM, Creator of Performance Lifestyle, founder of Regenus Center and The Charging Stations NJ
As we enter the second month of 2025, the pace of life continues to accelerate, placing immense demands on our time, energy, and focus. Success today isn’t just about working hard, it’s about working and living smarter. Revitalizing, basically being proactive about recharging your body, and managing your energy like a pro is no longer optional; it’s essential. As a fellow Morris County Chamber of Commerce member, I know that our community is filled with ambitious individuals and businesses striving to make an impact. But even the most driven among us can struggle with one critical element: maintaining the energy needed to thrive professionally and personally.

By Lois Manzella-Marchitto from Fitness Knocking
In the Health and Wellness forum we talk a lot about health challenges. One of the biggest challenges is where to begin. With the start of a new year is the perfect time to kick off a new health and wellness plan—and if you've been thinking about getting more active, there's no better time than now! If you're feeling unsure about where to start, you're not alone. Many people struggle with taking that first step when it comes to exercise. ​But what if you could start small and gradually build your way up to walking 3 miles in under an hour?

Gratitude: A Tool to Improve Your Life

By Amy Arvary, Crothers Consulting
November offers time to pause before the last month of the year. A month to focus on giving thanks. Gratitude, which in my professional and personal opinion, is the most life changing, positivity-bringing, easiest way of immediately improving your life. It requires no money, no material possessions, no formal education, no political perspective.  It's free and only improves your life in many ways - physically, mentally, socially, professionally, romantically, creatively…

From Helicopters to High Performance: A Full-Circle Moment with Tony Robbins

11/21/2024

 
Picture
By John Allen Mollenhauer “JAM” Founder, Performance Lifestyle® Inc, the Regenus Center.
Tuesday, November 12, 2024, started like any other—until I got a call from a woman who needed urgent help. Her boss, preparing for a major four-day event, wasn’t feeling his best after a demanding trip and was required to access a recovery solution at the Regenus Center. He was serious enough to plan to divert his helicopter to the local airport.

She emphasized how important it was to have him in top shape--I would later find out he was about to lead thousands of people through one of the most intense transformational experiences in the world. But when logistics at the airport didn’t work out, she asked if I could bring the equipment to his Manhattan apartment instead.

Though I had a full plate running the Regenus Center, something about the ask stuck with me. The meeting might be meaningful if this person was willing to divert a helicopter for recovery. I said yes.
The next day, I arrived at an exclusive hotel, passed multiple security points, and was escorted to the penthouse, still not knowing who I would be serving. As I entered, I immediately recognized the man who would greet me:
​
Tony Robbins—the global icon of transformation, peak performance, and personal power—was preparing for his Unleash the Power Within event at the Prudential Center in Newark, NJ.

The Greatest Secret to Unlocking Your True Potential

In the quest for success, most people focus on tactics, hacks, and external motivators. From seminars pushing “massive action” to influencers preaching productivity, the message is often the same: take charge, push harder, and get things done at any cost. But if you’ve ever felt drained, stuck, or caught in the cycle of burnout despite your best efforts, you’re not alone.

9/19/2024

By John Allen Mollenhauer “JAM” CPLC, Founder of Performance Lifestyle® Insights and the Regenus Center
In today’s world, maintaining an optimal state of health feels nearly impossible for most people. We live in a time where the relentless pressures of work, family, and life commitments can make even the idea of thriving seem out of reach. The health and wellness industry often perpetuates this feeling, with influencers and experts—whose job it is to stay healthy—offering advice from environments that completely cater to their needs. Yet, for most of us, who don’t live with that level of support, this advice simply doesn’t work in the real world.

Leaders Need to Set the Example for Recharging and Unplugging
It’s summertime, and you have some vacation/PTO just waiting to be used. You’ve earned it, in more ways than one! And yet, one in four professionals say they never, or rarely ever, take all their vacation days according to a Deloitte study on burnout.  We as leaders need to role model taking vacation as well as encourage, or even mandate, that employees take vacation as well. As today's headlines exclaim, burnout levels are at an all-time high, so finding time to re-charge is critical.

The New Definition of Balance: A Revelation by a Libra

In the hustle of modern life, the concept of "balance" often gets tossed aside—dismissed as unachievable by many who have themselves struggled to maintain it. As a Libra, reputedly the zodiac sign of balance, I find it apt to challenge this notion and redefine what balance means for the ambitious, the creative, and everyone in between.

We often hear about thriving, so let's start by understanding what it means.  Thriving refers to progressing toward or realizing a goal despite or because of circumstances. The terms 'thrive' and 'flourish' are often used interchangeably and have similar meanings. Both words imply a state of growth, success, and prosperity in various areas of life. However, 'thrive' can also carry the connotation of overcoming challenges and adversity, while 'flourish' emphasizes a state of abundance and prosperity. This article focuses on thriving and explores the one habit most responsible for making it happen. By cultivating this habit effectively, flourishing becomes a natural evolution.

A Performance Lifestyle is where your daily lifestyle habits promote, high level function, health, happiness, the capacity to perform well, and be productive.

Soak Away the Effects of Stress in a Hot / Cold Immersion - Without Having to Go to the Artic!

9/21/2023

 
Picture
By Performance Lifestyle Coach John Allen Mollenhauer “JAM” Founder of Regenus Center
​​
However much we want to deny it, Excess Stress is an unfortunate part of the human experience, and it can have various effects on our bodies, such as fatigue, inflammation, and a weakened immune system. As most of us juggle external responsibilities that range from work deadlines to family care, we all have stressful times and days that feel overwhelming and deplete our vital energy, giving rise to the added low-grade biological stress of tiredness itself, inflammation, and pain. 
​
While hot tubs and traditional saunas often get the spotlight regarding stress relief, ironically, "cold water immersions," traditionally known as "ice baths," or “plunges into a lake ice-opening,” are an overlooked source of recovery from stress, relief, and relaxation (believe it or not) with the added benefits of reducing inflammation and pain.
